    Abstract: A process for manufacturing phase change memory cells includes the step of forming a heater element (25a) in a semiconductor wafer (10) and a storage region (31a) of a phase change material on and in contact with the heater element (25a). In order to form the heater element (25a) and the phase change storage region (31a) a heater structure is first formed and a phase change layer (31) is deposited on and in contact with the heater structure. Then, the phase change layer (31) and the heater structure are defined by subsequent self-aligned etch steps.

    Abstract: A phase change memory device (10) having a heater element (2) and memory region (3) of chalcogenic material. The memory region has a phase changing portion (5) in electrical and thermal contact with the heater element and forms a first current path between the heater element and a rest portion (4) of the memory element. The phase changing portion (5) has a dimension correlated to information stored in the memory region and a higher resistivity than the rest portion (4). A parallel current path (11) extends between the heater element (2) and the rest portion (4) of said memory element and has a resistance depending upon the dimension of the phase changing portion (5) and lower than the phase changing portion (5), thus modulating the overall resistance of phase change memory device.
